“What a mess they have for Adorni in conference mode. That’s why they want to get him down at all costs. They won’t be able to,” he posted Santiago Oria in his account on Manuel Adorni, but adding muscle through some AI application.
The filmmaker who made “Milei – The Series” and adapted the book “Pandemics” of the libertarian economist in a viral medium-length film for social networks, joined the government’s internal campaign to keep the coordinator of ministers in his position, after the scandal of undeclared flights and real estate. A fervent mileist, the graduate of the Fundación Universidad del Cine (FUC) is considered the person most responsible for all the visual content referring to the president: official spots, digital aesthetics and network videos.
However, far from Oria’s praise, the press conference led by Adorni at the Casa Rosada took place in a climate of marked tension, crossed by insistent questions from journalists about scandals linked to travel and alleged financial inconsistencies. From the beginning, the official was under pressure and sought to establish a defensive position by limiting the scope of his responses: “I am here to talk about the Government’s agenda,” he said, in an attempt to delimit the axis of the conference in the face of an agenda that quickly led to his personal situation.
As the questions progressed, Adorni was questioned about the flights to New York and Punta del Este, as well as about the existence of a property in Exaltación de la Cruz that, according to different journalistic versions, had not been declared. Faced with this scenario, the spokesperson reiterated a discursive line based on the denial of irregularities but without providing specific details: “There is no irregularity, everything is in order,” he stated. However, he avoided specifying dates, financing modalities or administrative frameworks for the trips, which generated new questions in the room.
The most tense moment occurred when several chroniclers insisted on his personal and financial situation. There, the official marked an explicit limit: “I am not going to talk about my private life,” he responded bluntly, a phrase he repeated on more than one occasion. “It seems to me that there is an attempt to move the axis of the discussion,” he added, and stressed that “whatever has to do with personal issues is not part of this conference.” When asked if the trips had been financed with his own resources or if there was some type of benefit for his position, he again avoided specific definitions: “Everything that corresponds is properly presented where it should be.”
In other passages, Adorni sought to delegitimize media complaints by describing them as “malicious versions” and “operations.” “Many things are said without any basis,” he said, while defending his behavior: “I have absolutely nothing to hide.” He also insisted that his role is institutional: “My role is to communicate the decisions of the President and the Government, not to give explanations on issues that do not concern management.” That line was maintained even when he was asked directly about the alleged undeclared property, to which he responded in a general way: “My financial situation is in order.”
The conference concluded without the spokesperson offering substantive details on the most sensitive points of the scandal, but making his communication strategy clear: denying irregularities, avoiding details and rejecting any approach to his private life. The exchange, marked by journalistic insistence and evasive responses, reflected the Government’s difficulty in containing the political impact of the complaints and the official’s decision not to expand information beyond general statements.
